Axel Merk, chief investment officer for the ASA Gold and Precious Metals fund, says that gold prices are most tightly correlated to "the confidence the market has in the central bank to manage inflation over time," so gold's rally over the last six weeks -- as well as its path forward -- is "favorable because we might be entering a recession, most notably a recession that is more severe than is currently priced into the market." Merk says he does not foresee a soft landing for the economy -- he sees a decline that is more significant than most observers are expecting -- which is why he does not think "we are going to have the trajectory [for gold] that is priced in right now."
